Seller's Notes

A striking and rare right-hand drive example of the stylish ‘70s supercar, presented in an iconic colour scheme, and offered fresh from long-term ownership. It is powered by a sonorous 4.9-litre flat-12, producing around 346kW at 7,250rpm which is sent to the rear wheels via a five-speed open-gate manual transmission. Just 929 examples of the 512 BB were delivered worldwide, and it is understood that only 101 were right-hand drive. This example is said to have had four owners from new, and has been with its current owner for 24 years. The odometer displays a modest 35,484 miles (57,106 km). This Berlinetta Boxer was specified in the quintessential Ferrari hue of Rosso Corsa, over tan leather-trimmed seats accented by Nero ‘Daytona’ inserts. The car rides on 15-inch five-spoke Cromodora alloy wheels on the front with wider replicas on the rear, which are shod in Michelin tyres. Equipment includes a Momo steering wheel, electric windows, handsome Veglia gauges, hazard warning lights, and a Borletti air conditioning system. The seller notes modifications to the car include an MSD ignitor and coil, an uprated air conditioning compressor, twin electric cooling fans, wider rear wheels, uprated shock absorbers and springs, a Tubi stainless steel exhaust, remote central locking, HID headlight bulbs, LED fog lights, a Sony head unit, and a reverse camera and screen. It will be accompanied by a selection of maintenance invoices, three sets of keys, and an assortment of parts. The car comes with the OEM Tool kit. The original books and manual also come with this Ferrari. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. Specific notes from the seller include: there is a very small scratch near the windscreen wiper, and one very small scratch just above the driver’s side indicator. Inside there is wear present on the driver’s seat base and bolster. The seller notes that the speedometer works intermittently, though is not aware of any further electrical or mechanical faults with the car. The latest service was carried out during November 2021 at 35,346 miles by Racing Red. The work comprised of an engine oil and filter change, along with the replacement of the brake fluid and a rebuild of all four brake callipers. Prior to this, the car was serviced in November 2020 by Racing Red which was an engine oil and filter change and replacement of the rear tyres, spark plugs, and rear brake pads, and in August 2019 at 34,848 miles by Racing Red which was an engine oil and filter change, and removal of the engine to check the clutch, replace the timing belts, tensioners, rollers, alternator belt, and clutch master cylinder. The air conditioning system was also refilled with refrigerant. The seller notes that the gearbox has also been overhauled, and the car has been protected with a ceramic paint protection during ownership. This Ferrari 512 BB is a rare ‘70s supercar, offered with low mileage and in the classic shade of Rosso Corsa. Fresh from long-term ownership and equipped with some discerning modifications, it would now make an enviable addition to any collection of classic vehicles, and will no doubt put a smile on its next owner’s face each time they fire up its raucous flat-12.
